Next up are the Portland Trail Blazers. Only major change here is that Portland returns to a lowercase font. the Logo is stacked similar to the original 1971 logo. Association/Icon: Over their entire half-century of existence, Portland has never had the full name "Trail Blazers" on a uniform. That all changes today. Silver trim is removed from the neck, shoulders, and sash. Statement: for some reason, Portland likes to experiment with their red jersey. The haven't had a true, inverted alternate jersey since 2012. While theirs nothing wrong with experimenting, the Blazers are one of those teams that can get by with a simple recolor. City: Speaking of experimentation.... The Blazers unveiled a silver-and-black monochromatic earned jersey. (they said it's because Dame, being from Oakland, was a Raiders fan). It wasn't bad, but it got me thinking, what if they had a jersey made up of nothing but grey tones? Call it the "gray-dient"(the name is corny, I know). Main Court: Much like their current court, the apron is two-toned, but I used the jersey sash as the dividing line instead of the logo stripes. City Court: Everything goes greyscale like the jerseys, with the famed "Rip City" at center court.

With the Season about to start, I figured now would be a good time to finally finish restart my long awaited 32-team NBA project. Going in order isn't going to be possible for me, so I'm going to post these as I gain ideas for them. Starting with...the Detroit Pistons. I always liked the 2002 recolor of the 90's teal horse logo for Detroit. It actually has some character to it, other than the plain red/blue basketball that we've seen different variations of. THis time around, I'm removing the navy, going full red/blue/silver. Now for the Uniforms. Association/Icon: I brought the recolored horse-head wordmark to the front of the jerseys (just like the 90's Grant Hill-era), I swapped the stripe colors back to normal, and the number gets the logo treatment with the outline. "DP" goes on the shorts leg, while the horse-ball goes on the waistband. Statement: I brought back the fan-beloved red alternate. It's a simple recolor, really, but the fans adored it, so back in the rotation it goes. City: For as much flak as the pistons get for their "Motor City" alternates (especially on these boards), It is an actual nickname for the city. Silver, mostly used for trim on the main jerseys, becomes the base. The stripes bring back the teal, gold, and red of the Grant Hill-era, while black and gold go on the wordmark & numbers. The waistband, shorts trim, and neckline are half teal/half red, corresponding with the nearest stripe. And the new courts: Main: Nothing spectacular, just placing the recolored logo on the current court. City: Old 90's logo returns to center court, with "Motor City" in the mid-range area.

I understand the gold inclusion, but it think you might be going a bit too far in that direction. The Saints kinda corner the NFL black & gold market, and the Steelers also use blacks & yellow. With the Raiders being so closely related—almost synonymous with silver & black (heck, the teams nick name is “The Silver And Black”), so I think the outline should be silver instead of gold.

Al Michaels brought up a great point—the Cowboys don’t play a 2020 playoff team until week 11(and only 4 overall). Bucs, Chiefs, Washington, Washington. With as strong a showing as this Tampa Bay game, and a weak division, I can see them finishing with around 10-12 wins. For all the talk of “this is the year”, this may actually be the year.

Also, is there a reason most of your concepts don’t have pant designs?

What about 2020’s City jersey?

…what?

You have basically no competition for your division title. Unless 2021 Carson Wentz becomes 2017 Carson Wentz, the AFC South Champs are the Titans.

Not only did it not have the diamond logo, it’s a Jordan jersey. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember teams selling past players in current City edition jerseys. There were no LeBron vice jerseys or Duncan fiesta jerseys (unless they were customs)

They should’ve done this for CR. The Cowboys, Giants, Niners, and Broncos all used classic designs/throwbacks for their Color Rushes.

Question: If the Nike logo was just an outline and not filled in, would it look better?

“Washington Redtails” seems fine. Keeps the Red- and syllable count from old name, but still connects to the local area. (Gives them plenty of Nikespeak to use with “honoring our city past”).

After one preseason game, Tebowmania is over.

Just a thought, but I don’t think green pants add anything to this rotation. Silver(with the home and road) and white(with the alt) seem sufficient.

Resident Cowboys fan here. Can confirm.

Sarcasm.

At this point, the Giants should go full Colts-esque by bringing back their old red alternate, make a new red helmet, and use the new red pants at home and on the road. Red and white.

Look at the ad on the Celtics. Either that’s Vista Print’s old logo, or it’s just taking up more space on the jersey.

I’d say our quarterback is a nice, humble guy. He gets drowned out by Jerrah and the fan base, but Dak is definitely someone you can get behind.

Wow, you included the Guardians who just released their logos last week. I can’t imagine having to rearrange the whole thing because the Indians changed their name.

This “story of the logo” is pure BS Nikespeak. All they had to say was “ the wings and basketball from the parent Pelicans’ logo forms a star” and it’d be fine.

He’s a high-level quarterback whose trade rumors bring to the League. They probably already know he’s guilty, but are dragging this out as long as possible so he can be traded (and create another compelling storyline).
